Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government what was the total cost of the inquiry undertaken by the Independent Monitoring Authority for the Citizens' Rights Agreements into delays issuing decisions on applications to the EU Settlement Scheme.

The Independent Monitoring Authority for the Citizens’ Rights Agreements does not record the cost of individual inquiries.

Costs to the Independent Monitoring Authority largely comprise staffing. The inquiry was primarily delivered by a small core team - three members of staff at any one time - who were also involved in other operational work.
